Here I am! Sorry for the delay, I have been quite busy in the last few days...

Back to the comparison: I have watched both the clips, in both versions each, one after the other; differences are not so evident, even after repeated watching... so, I imported them in avisynth and analyzed them on virtualdub, one over the other, to have a clear view of the differences.

I can say that the new settings have a bit too much red for my tastes, that could be spotted in the first clip, in the fighters; there, in old settings they are perfectly grey, while in the new one they tend a bit to be pinkish.

In the second clip, the walls in the old settings are of that kind of white I always thought a luxury spaceship corridors should have (^^,), while in some shots of the new settings they are a bit too pinkish, and I noted also a yellowish tint sometimes, due IMHO to the fact that I think you raised green a bit (am I right?); indeed, the faces in the new settings displays a little too much green, again IMHO.

The older settings retains the "spirit" of the laserdisc color grading, and to me, they are perfect - at least in these two shots, in particular the second, which is one of the most difficult one to regrade - I still remember this from my first two SW projects... not that the new settings are bad, and if I had not the occasion to compare them directly, both in the same screen, it will be hard to spot the differences, but, again, the older settings are clearly the winner...

Conclusion: stick with the older settings, you made a very very good job - said from a friend, but also from a fan restoration "competitor"... paraphrasing the adage of Charles Kingsley, "Better is old wine than new, and old settings like-wise." (^^,) ...like what I discovered in The Matrix, but this is another story, for another thread...
